Java Applet Embed plugin for WordPress

Description

Allows you to insert Java applets into your Wordpress blog.

If you've ever tried to embed a Java applet in a post or page by inserting
your usual <applet> or <object> tags, you would have noticed that
WordPress doesn't recognize the tags and the tags disappear. This plugin
supports new shortcodes permitting WordPress to recognize and properly render
the applets.

You can choose among three possible display modes:

Inline, loaded immediately

Inline, loaded only when the user clicks. This one is great for letting
your visitors control whether to load the JVM or not.

Popup window, loaded only when the user clicks

You can reference your JAR archive with any full URL, even on another web
site. And you can even upload the JAR into WordPress using the Media
Library and then reference the JAR file as you would any other image, video,
or audio.

Thanks to the integration of Oracle’s Deployment
Toolkit
, it works for multiple types of browsers and can offer to download the Java
Plug-in (this probably needs more testing) or update it if the required JVM
version doesn’t match (this feature hasn’t yet been implemented but it easily
could be, if there is demand.)
